Chris, "riverrat", had a colon blow incident.

I'll let him fill in the details.

Keep him in your prayers for a speedy recovery.

Feel better dude. I can sympathize. I suffered a perforation in the colon earlier this year. Wound up with a nice case of pertinitis. After several weeks of I.V. Anti-biotics they removed a couple feet of my lower intestine.

This is actually no laughing matter...although I wish it was. So easy to work with this one...seems to be a lot of this recently.

Feel better, pal.

Were you intending two puns or did it just "come out" that way?

It is, and Chris has a great sense of humor.
Trust me when I tell you, "he can dish it out".

Thanks for all the kind words. Things are starting to move around a bit. I had to tell you guys about this one. I'm lying here feeln pretty crapy and all I have is my phone to surf the net with. As some of you know I've been building up parts for the Euro to make Texfest and this happens. I've been waiting for days now for my colon to start cooperating by moving some air around as the Dr. Informed me it would. Well I'm all fired up about building the turbo so I go to YouTube to watch some m30b34 turbo action. As I start watching this guy lay down the rubber my stomach airs up and the bag inflates around third gear. LMAO!! The blow off valve worked as advertised. Whew!!

Hey Chris, how 'bout an update, and be serious this time.

riverrat · Post by **riverrat** » Sep 15, 2012 11:05 AM

Well, my relocated exhaust system is working as advertised. It's not the ideal situation but it looks like I'll be running this way for the next four to five months. This experiance has been a definite life changer! Thanks to all who have been there for me through this ordeal! The good news is that I'm ready to start doing some light wrenching here and there.

Very good news. Just take it easy. I'm sure you've been lectured already, but getting out and about = great idea. Overdoing it = bad idea, and also kind of easy to do.
